do a bigger burnout, get boost by gear, make sure your slicks are not old and dryed out

Something like the S300 with boost controller option can boost by gear works really well at getting out of the hole. IMO a 2 step launch at 4500 is a bit high and will spin tires, try launching at a lower rpm and off boost. Being in boost at the launch is great but if you cant put the power to the ground it only hurts, if you launch on boost and put the power down get ready. this is also the point where you will start breaking things like axles, this is all part of being able to put the power to the ground.

I going to lower the launch control to 4k. Really it's a little complicated to take the trick after a life running rotaries.

YEah a LSD will help for sure by moving the power to the wheel that is not slipping. A LSD is almost a must for FWD drag cars.

<-----Stock b16a2 no LSD stock B16a2 tranny stock axles (over 20 passes on them still on the car) launching at 5200 2 step... repeated 1.6 60 fts Turbonetics 50 trim 320whp no boost by gear 11.9's consistent on 93 pump gas...u need to install traction bars and check your tire psi u probably have too much air in the tire try coming out the hole at 9psi tire pressure and work your way down... also make sure you are doing a proper burnout and not leaving with the tires wet.. spin until u feel the car hooking then stage....good luck

ACT Xtreme pp and competition clutch four puck disc.

The tires where set at 12psi and yes my burnout was not the best because
as soon i feel the car pull the rear tires i let off, maybe the tires need more
heat and less air. The traction bars are in my list but for D.D. here in P.R is
like put a hook under the car.

are you sitting in the water box and burning out. you should be a couple feet past it before you do a burnout.380 whp shouldnt spin 24.5s that much. i ran some 24.5 by 8 mnh and did a weak burnout and still did a 1.9 60 spinning all of first and second put me in the seat.that car had 441 whp and 289tq.and i launched it off the limiter with nearly full boost.

Well if you are spinning through fourth and bogging after you stop spinning, I think it's safe to say you need to utilize the launch control God gave you, your right foot. Take it easy on the throttle until you get the hang of it. It's not a good theory to slam your foot to the floor and slam through the gears. A slow start could do you better then spinning the tires.

A LSD and traction bars will certainly help, but it's important to get the technique down. Some more runs out on the track and i'm sure you will have no problem getting it to hook and go.

Good luck.
